Beach Boys, The

    0.01 sec.
Beach Boys, The, American rock music band formed in 1961 by brothers

Brian Wilson, 1942–,

Dennis Wilson, 1944–83, and

Carl Wilson, 1946–98, with

Mike Love, 1941–, and

Alan Jardine, 1942–. The band popularized, if not invented, California rock, a style that featured rich, simple guitar work and vocal harmonies and that glorified a teenage life in California centered on surfing, dating, and driving. Their recordings include "Surfin' USA," "Fun, Fun, Fun," "California Girls," and the proto-psychedelic "Good Vibrations." The band has survived despite frequent personnel changes, and maintained popularity in the 1980s and 1990s as a nostalgia act. In 1988 they achieved chart success again with "Kokomo."
